DAY 137 WEEPING OVER JERUSALEM
Bible Passage Lamentations 1:1-5
Sometimes, it is after we receive punishment that we become sober and sorry for
what we have done. We may have had several warnings that we will be punished but
we do not take notice or listen. That is what happened to the people living in
Jerusalem, they had several warnings from prophets but continued to do what God
said were wrong. It is better to change when warned than to learn from punishment.
Some punishments even lead to death and it will be too late to make corrections or ask
for forgiveness.

TODAY'S ACTION
